Fish!
I had QJ, instant read to know you have tens and I have two overs, just couldn"t bring myself to take the flip.

Alternative view on last nights game at G, see Pokerpops for the original.
As Dave has said there at 2 casinos within a few miles of each other and the G at the moment can"t compete with Gala regarding the number of runners, last nights game at gala was a £60 game which would prob get 60 plus runners and obviously generate a decent prize pool, but due to time restrictions a few levels are missed out and the structure is not very good, I used to play a lot at Gala and done ok but on one reentry game they changed the structure mid way through the game and instead of going back after the break with 25 bigs paid the reentry fee and had a 12 big blind stack, (structure had been altered 2 weeks previous when I hadn"t entered, my bad for not checking), since then only been back on the odd occasion.
Although the fields aren"t big at G, the games are generally sit and goes rather than mtts and with some people usually buying in twice they can be quite profitable.
Only play premiums in the first few levels as its usually 6 people to a pot, once someone has chips in the middle it doesn"t matter what some one raises to they are going to call.
Lost first lot of chips when aggro good player raises, gets one flat from small blind I have 55, the pot is 1200, I only have 2k so just announce all in, aggro player folds,limper calls he has 99, no help on board so take the extra chips, original raiser had 77 so I saved him some chips.
Significant hand of the night Dr Donk limps utg as is his usual move I limp call with 98,5 people eventually see flop which was 9,5,7, dr donk leads out for 1k2, I only have 6k behind so announce all in, Dr Donk is going to call if he has hit so I might get a double up, get 2 callers behind so pot is now about 20k, I stand up assuming I am going home, turn card is a 6, so I sit back down again, no help for anyone on the river, but the old lady announces straight so I assume we are splitting, she actually misread her hand and had J high, bink back in the game.
I reraise Dave from the dealer button after his raise of an early position limper he shoves all in, I fold AJ, reading his blog he has 99, nines how does he do that to my show of strength, (previous history may have been involved). ::)
Eventually get to heads up with Dave, a couple of days to late but it is what it is. He has the chip advantage so no talking of splitting the pot, eventually my KQ beats his KJ and we are equal in chips, I ask if he wants to split as it is late and we both take £175, like he said I don"t have much experience in live heads up mainly because any tournament I have gone deep in deals are usually done, if it wasn"t so late I would of been happy to play on,I assumed Dave would of been working today so offered the option.
I am well in profit at the G by just playing these small games rather than the higher variance games at Gala, and it"s generally a more pleasant experience.
Game selection for the win.

Nottingham is now a definite, found a place literally 10 minutes from home which can accommodate Susan, I don"t know why I haven"t seen this place before, speaking to the manager she says there is always rooms and beds available and with the price being very close to standard night in a decent hotel it is a better option than booking a hotel for both of us and leaving her alone with a mobile to contact me if required.
I actually deposited the cash on Monday to get my seat and put a bit too much in which allowed entry into the sat which ran, I would like to say I was unlucky and bubbled the seat but as there were only 3 runners that would of been a slight exaggeration well done to Suzanne who got the seat, i cant complain though had a profitable few days and my buy in is taken care of, looking foreward to the game and will be nice to meet up
I shall be playing the knockout game tonight and possibly a few on Stars so hopefully a good session will ensue.
Vegas may be on the cards again if she likes it and she settles in there, probably march/April 2013.
